Five Basic Principles of Going Lighter (not me... the great Cam Honan of OZ)

If they did that I might buy one just for the halibut. (Apologies to Phantom Grappler!)
Seriously, this weekend at a small group outing I got to check out a Cedar Ridge UQ made with UP. Very interesting concept if it works long term. I've been surprised, in a good way, at the performance of treated down, but even so I have been in some situations with with very high relative humidity where a synthetic is superior.

Living where I do, synthetic insulation is a necessity for about half of the year. The 30° synthetic quilts I have now are from Snugpak, which I absolutely love and are bombproof, but are definitely on the heavy side. I have their Cocoon as well, which is rated for 25°, but weighs 5lbs. My other synthetic quilts are : the newly redesigned 40° TQ from DD Hammocks which isn't too bad weight wise and has a hood, 10° OneTigris UQ, 50° DIY TQ, 50° ⅞ length DIY UQ made from a Snugpak jungle blanket and a 40° SLD Trailwinder UQ/UQP. I'd love to have matching synthetic sets like I have with my down so I can get rid of, loan, or let my family use the older stuff.
For me, I'd definitely want a " 55° + " set and a 40° TQ to go with my 40° Trailwinder. Then down the road, MAYBE a 20° set for winter since it can be very foggy here with a lot of frost and moisture in the air to use on multiple night hangs where my down would most definitely loose loft. A set of quilts for my 7yo daughter is also something I've been looking to buy.....
